Throbathon.
Sounds exhausting and painful.

LOok mom, I apprecaite your attempst at a Slave not so inside inside joke of the day that is not really funny, but as I have clearly posted before this awrd is limited to Slacve or one of his frat-boy mentors plus your joke is more just not funny (note to all: PLF jokes are so first half of 2003). Thanks for playing though. Back to my holidays.

Cheers! (and namaste to Bennie)

PJ, refresh my recollection, spinning hippie chicks are or are not English majors?

I don't know. Every time I see or hear the Sprint ads, I always think about it being a bad Joe Friday imitator, but maybe that's just me.

Actually, I kind of like the Verizon ad where the chimp in the zoo is walking around with the banana up to its ear mimicing the "Can you hear me now? guy.

That campaign has become so ubiquitous, even the ad agency must have realized a little self-parody was in order.

I think both campaigns are near the end of the line. Both have migrated from clever to tolerable to downright fucking annoying, especially the verizon schmuck. He's almost as bad as the Dell dude. I'd like to kick him hin the groin and tell him to get the fuck off my TV.

Dissent. They're all current or past English or Philosophy or some other impractical but highly literate major, and can punctuate beautifully even under the influence.

Spinning hippy chicks are never "under the influence". They are "tripping" instead.

And they punctuate beautifully, which is to say, they use those little marks, what are they? Yes, punctuation. They do it beautifully, or in a lovely way, even most glowingly, even when, you know, what we said above, while tripping -- that's when they do it wonderfully!

I really liked the Dell dude. I hate the new campaign with the interns. I'd like to kill the interns. Possession of a tiny bit of weed, and he gets dumped by Dell? In Canada he'd get a gold medal. and a new ad campaign.

The commercial I like is for Southwest Airlines (I think) - anyway, it is the one with the "want to get away?" tagline.

It has the woman and man sitting next to each other and the man says something like "you know, I'm going to just come out and say it. I love you" and the woman says "well, I've always found you very attractive". And then you realize that the guy is talking on his cell phone and has an earpiece. funny.

sounds much less funny when described than when you are actually watching it.

I like the identity theft commercials - where the voice doesn't match the body. They all have such evil laughs.

With both "Paig's" and "Sock," all bets are off, honey. You're lucky it can get ideas across in writing at all.

Dell claims he was dumped before that. And that people were watching the ads for him, not for Dell's products. Like people watched the Twins ads for Coors and the mudwrestling ads for miller light. whatever.

I like them too. But how effective are they? I suspect they leave you with this impression: Use a Citibank card, and have your identity stolen.

what are the chances they pay?

Although, there was a story in the NY Times a couple of weeks ago about a tank collector who lives in Portola Valley (CA). He has something like 30-40 WWI and WWII vintage tanks. A huge hangar to keep them in. And enough property to drive them around. And he doesn't buy these off the scrap heap--the run in the 100ks each. It sounds like if you're a tank junkie his house is the best museum anywhere.

Au contraire. Some of don't trust any Birkenstocked schmo with a stash to share enough to make us deviate from alcohol, which provides a pleasant buzz without the unpleasant possibility we'll start screeching that we have big green spiders crawling all over our bodies.

A quick perusal of the items purchased by the bidders reveals things like Norton Systemworks and a road bike. Not exactly the purchases of one who collects large pieces of military hardware, but hey, what the hell do I know.

Spinning hippie chicks never say au contraire.

They also never turn down free weed.
